Jingle Bell Tag/Ornament

Created this Jingle Bell Christmas Tag that can
also be used as a Christmas ornament which would
also make it a gift for someone.

Used Christmas Cricut cartridge I got free when I
bought my Gypsy Oct 2010 and when I had my Gypsy
replaced this yr they gave me my same serial # on a
new device and so I was able to download the free
cartridges from Oct 2010.

Used 2 pieces of Kraft paper (one without the center
cut to attach to back of 1st for support). Used gold
glitter glue & let dry overnight. Then sprayed it with
Perfect Pearls Mist Heirloom Gold.

Had only silver jingle bells so I put on my Tim Holtz
thinking cap. Put the silver jingle bell on end of a
toothpick and stuck it into the bottom of a Styrofoam
cup. Used Adirondack Metallic Gold Dabber to change
the silver jingle bell to a gold jingle bell.

The hardest part at least the hardest part for me was
threading the ribbon thru the 13mm jingle bell and
positioning the jingle bell below the Kraft paper jingle
bell. Threaded the ribbon up thru the hole in the Kraft
paper jingle bell & tied into a bow.

A name can be written on the center on front for tag use
or the yr or some sentiment for ornament.
